Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the highway law, in relation to dedicating a portion of the state highway system to LTJG Brock Wendel Yates
AI Summary
This bill dedicates a specific bridge on New York State Route 19, located between Castile and Perry in Wyoming County, to LTJG (Lieutenant Junior Grade) Brock Wendel Yates. The bill requires the New York State Department of Transportation to install and maintain signage indicating the bridge's dedication, which will read "Bridge Dedicated to LTJG Brock Wendel Yates". Importantly, the dedication is ceremonial in nature, meaning the bridge's official name will not be legally changed, and the signage is designed to honor the individual without causing confusion or disrupting local commerce. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing for prompt recognition of LTJG Yates, likely a local service member being honored for his contributions or sacrifice.
